The correct answer is: differentiable at zero

f'0+=limh0f0+h-f0h

=limh0fhh

=limh0lncoshln1+h2×h2h2      ....1   {Multiplying Numerator & denominator by h}

=limh0h2ln1+h2×limh0lncoshh2

=limh0h2ln1+h2×limh0-tanh2h      {Using L'Hospital's Rule}
  = 1 × - 1 2
= - 1 2

and   f'0-=limh0f0-h-f0-h

=limh0f-h-h

=-limh0-hlncos-hln1+-h2-h

=limh0logcoshlog1+h2

= - 1 2                                  {from Eq. 1}

f'0+=f'0-

 fx is differentiable and hence continuous at x=0.
